January Crafting List

I listen to a lot of podcasts while working at crafting, mostly for background noise. The Happiness Project with Gretchen Rubin is always a favorite and for the New Year, she suggests having a yearly theme, a word.

I can’t decide. My word was going to be Home, since ours was neglected in the last two years. Or it will be Homemade/Handmade. Either way, I am adding to my crafting to-do list.
